Creative Wilderness has been an idea brewing for years. What is it? I’m not sure really. I plan to figure it out along the way. I have been discussing this blog expedition with my sister for a while, saying things like “how do I encompass travel, writing, reading, health, and creativity into one blog?” With her response being, “I dunno, just do it!”

I asked another friend through email, “do you have a favourite word? You know, a word that evokes a whole bunch of feelings?” (Because I love asking random questions), and she was like, “um…I’ve never really thought about it.” I imagined she’d be creasing her forehead, wondering why the hell I ask these things.

My favourite words are Magic and Wilderness. Magic reminds me of my childhood and imagination. I think I might get it tattooed somewhere one day… Wilderness makes me think of silence, frost, vast expanses and endless forests. It takes me outside of my menial grey cubicle of a workplace.

Magic Wilderness sounds a little too…hippy, crystal shop, untamed hair etc.

So, Creative Wilderness was born.
